Our guild only does Tier IV, solely because the rewards are so much better. But it takes us around a week to complete.
Our guilds GP is 30 million.
The squads I use are:
Vader, Palpatine, Thrawn, Tarkin, Nihilus
Wedge, Biggs, CLS, R2, Farmboy Luke
JTR, Rey, Finn, Poe, BB8
Talzin, Ventress, Talia, Daka, Acolyte
Boba Fett, Raid Han, Death Trooper, Vet Han, Greedo
What I like: The novelty was cool. I like seeing the triumvirate in action.
What I don’t like: This raid is way too long and the rewards you earn are pitiful compared to the effort put into the other raids. Facing Nihilus in any part of the raid is painful. He has too many powers...attacks avoid protection, recovers protection based on your team simply buffing themselves, reducing your cooldowns, and finally annihilating. I realize some of these abilities are part of his kit. While you’re trying to manage all of these abilities and not get insta killed, you’re missing out in the fun part of the raid...dealing damage and feeling like you’re team is making a difference. Another annoying mechanic is Traya stacking up bonds of weakness. Yet another ability that uses your abilities against you...when you should be focused on damage and having fun dealing it out. Lastly the boss tenacity is way too high. This makes having special abilities pointless.
This raid would be great if it focused more on damage dealing and less about managing all of the bosses special abilities. Not everyone In the guild has amazing characters to contend with each obstacle..so it makes sense that players just sit out until they feel they can make a meaningful difference in the raid.
Recommendations: Significantly lower the boss HP in each phase of the raid. Significantly lower the boss tenacity. Remove one of Nihilus’s abilities above. And generally make improvements that pick up the pace of this raid and give substantially better rewards. This raid is a chore rather than fun. I hope that was constructive feedback. Thanks for asking this question.
